The fine line between poetry and rap to me has always been blurry. While literary purist will object to the vast similarities between the two art form, I dare say it’s all about perspective. I’m not a poet or super deep into it but I do recognize similarities when it comes to rap. The extensive use of a distinct style, rhythm which ultimately births an emotion that the listener can tap into. Once the message is passed and the listener can connect-say no more- congratulations, work well done.
MA bsed poet/emcee Jazzmyn RED brings an interesting vibe (no pun intended) on her new single “Positive Vibes Only”, which is a feel good jazz influenced gem (courtesy of The Arcitype). Jazzmyn RED taps into her positive chakra and laced the backdrop with inspirational quotes with a veteran like confidence.
“…Depression is a muthaf**ka, Pains get real/ But a change of mind can make the wounds all heal…
….Free from negativity, positive vibes only, I know you feel alone but know you’re never lonely…”
Over the length of 3 verses, Jazzmyn RED touches on different situations and like the title of the song says, only the positive elements get the forefront. She may not tag herself a role model but she has definitely proven to be an inspirational being with this uplifting gem.
“…Look in the mirror, babygirl you’re a blessing/ Dark skin, light skin, it don’t matter your complexion
Cos we all queens, power perfected and attention ain’t s**t if you ain’t being respected…”
Check it out right away. “Positive Vibes Only “ is off Jazzmyn RED’s forthcoming LP Writing HERstory.
